If a corner of the counterweight is in the airstream, it will collect ice. Does the trailing edge of the stab collect ice? I am ignorant on this matter but if it works you might have some elevator movement sufficient for a controlled landing. Any comments? I too am fearful of weather. I fly away from worsening conditions. IFR "I Fear Rain". Bob Smiley N94RJ
